Mazak unveils new Landmark in UK & European Manufacturing

Yamazaki Mazak has confirmed its commitment to helping UK and European manufacturers increase their productivity and profitability by pushing ahead with the building of a new European Technology Centre on the site of its European headquarters in Worcester. The new European Technology Centre will welcome its first guests at a major Opening Week event between 25th November and 1st December 2009 (To book your place visit www.mazak.eu/etc, call 01905 755 755, or contact your local Mazak sales representative).

Occupying some 2,500 m2, the European Technology Centre (ETC) has been described as a “landmark building”, with its stunning glass frontage and environmentally friendly architectural design. The large 1320m2 showroom is designed to display the complete range of Mazak machine tools together under one roof, from the smallest 2-axis lathe to the largest most advanced Integrex e-Machines, as well as Mazak laser cutting machines.

Visitors to the ETC Opening Week event will see machine tools that were launched at EMO Milan, including the QUICK TURN SMART SERIES that provides incredible value and performance for two- and three-axis turning; the MEGATURN NEXUS 900, a large capacity, rigid, high performance vertical turning centre; and the SLANT TURN NEXUS 550M, which is setting the new standard in heavy-duty machining of large diameter components. Also on display will be the INTEGREX e-RAMTEC that gives massive productivity benefits in the machining of large parts, including deep inner diameter turning and milling using the ram spindle.
